591 CE

Maurice, with peace restored between Ctesiphon and Constantinople, can turn to the North, where nomadic Slavs and Avars are establishing permanent settlements in the empire.

The emperor begins a series of military expeditions to defend the Balkan provinces from the Avars and Slavs.

He stabilizes the Danube frontier (Limes Moesiae) from the Danube Delta to the fortress city of Singidunum (Belgrade); this permits Constantinople to reassert imperial authority in the interior.
